Accutane Side Effects

Suffered Accutane Side Effects? Call 1-800-380-8080

According to the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD), acne is the most common skin disorder in the United States, affecting 40 to 50 million Americans. The existence of a large demand for acne treatments and the potential niche market opportunity for a “miracle cure” for patients experiencing severe nodular acne presented Accutane with a unique opportunity to fill that market void. Needless to say, Accutane was successfully marketed since 1982. In fact, the capsule was sold to over 13 million people in the United States until 2009, when its manufacturer Roche Pharmaceuticals stopped its production. Although the manufacturer claimed the end of the drug lifecycle was due to a “decline in sales”, according to Drugwatch.com, more than 7,000 personal injury lawsuits were filed against the company. Failing to adequately warn patients about the risk of Accutane side effects and the risk of suffering irreparable intestinal problems outweighing the benefits provided by the medication – are some of the allegations among the plaintiffs.

So What Are Some of Accutane Side Effects?

Although correlation is not causation, numerous medical studies and safety communications from Federal Drug Administration (FDA) indicated the existence of a correlation between taking the medicine and the following severe side effects:

Inflammatory bowel’s disease

Ulcerative colitis

Pancreatitis

Crohn’s disease

Mental health problems (depression, psychosis and suicide)

Miscarriage and birth defects in pregnant women
